Succubus' Life in Another World

Chapter 116: The Chubby Spirit and the Unexpectedly Early Reunion

Mn? Huh? Some are missing.

Regardless of how delicious the chocolate is, buying all of them was too much. The two of us alone couldnt finish it all. After feeding each other for a while, we took a break at a bench nearby and this happened.

Urania had a quick look inside our bag of chocolates and tilted her head in confusion. Seeing that, I looked inside the bag as well and confirmed that there really are missing chocolates. Well, yeah, I only know one person who would eat someone elses snack without permission. I switch on Magic Sight and search the surrounding area and there she is.

Haa Bind & Move. Kyaa!? Whats with this!? Arytte T-tehe~!

Inside my hand is the chubby spirit Arytte adorably sticking out her tongue. Using Move on Bind is a surefire capture technique Ces taught me. With this technique, on top of capturing a dangerous target without needing to approach them, its convenient because you can also transport them as they are, he says.

Arytte, why are you still here? Oh? How unwelcoming of you! I told you, havent I! Maybe even sometime soon? Didnt you have work to do? And theres another spirit here in the capital, right? Not an issue, Lily. After all, I just got my leave! Being with you and the others seems interesting too. And besides, Im curious about that demi-spirit girl.

That was pretty quick. Are you really fine with that, spirits? Or rather

Right now, my name What? Youre the one I called by name first, so whats wrong with me calling you by name!

Whats with this tsundere. Since when did I score affection points with Arytte? Rather, shes really coming with us? To the academy?

Ill say this again, but we will not be playing around at the academy, you know? Well be there to learn, okay? I know, alright! Itll be fine! Ill do as I please while youre busy in class! And I wont get between the two of you! In that case, sure, I guess.

In that case, I guess I should have Arytte go with Hans or Est then? Well, she is a spirit, so she shouldnt be visible to other people most of the time; I suppose there shouldnt be any problem with her loitering around the area, but I feel like shell cause some needless trouble if I leave her alone.

In the meantime, we headed back with Arytte. To begin with, we already planned to have todays date last only until noon to make sure we wont be worn out for tomorrow, so its about time to go. While were already here, we also bought chocolates for Hans and Est. Arytte shamelessly asked for her own share as well, so I reluctantly bought some for her too. She had the most out of the three, so the expenses got a bit out of hand.

Were back. Were back. Ah, welcome home. You came back earlier than expected.

As we arrived home, Ces was there relaxing in the living room. There are documents spread across the table and from these, he hands me a bundle.

This is? The current list of the nobles who inquired about you. Just to be sure, theyre classified by faction. Nearly every faction is interested in you right now.

The papers had a ton of family names written on them. The House of Ormos is also among them, I have no idea if they knew about me from Sola or if they got the information elsewhere.

Also, take these. And these are? Your Student IDs.

These were two silver plates with our names on them. The class name had Class A inscribed on it, and it seems like we wont be able to join the class unless we have these plates. There are numbers on the upper left side of the plate too. Mine is 1, Uranias is 14.

What are these numbers? Its your ranking. Its based on the results of the class sorting exams, so its still tentative, but congratulations on being the top passer Lily. Ah, thank you very much.

While I was aiming for that, I didnt really expect to be the top passer. Just to say, the class sorting exams didnt just test the examinees magic capabilities, but there was also a general written exam. Ive studied a lot during the winter, so it seems like I got a high score.

Youre pretty good despite how you look, Lily. And what do you mean by that? Nothing in particular. I was simply praising you!

What an un-cute spirit. Since she said that, I told her Im going to ban you from chocolates; you know? and she prostrated herself in tears. From her resolute reaction, I couldnt help but make a strained smile.

Well, since youre the top passer, youll be having a speech during the entrance ceremony. Other than that, youll need to have a face-to-face meeting with the principal prior to the ceremony. That should fit with your target, but who am I to say? My, thats quite something to look forward to. Ill have to think of what we should chat about tonight then.

Ces and I smiled at each other with evil grins. The forced enrollment is still fine, I agree with the point that sorcerers need to be properly educated. However, the academy becoming the stage for the adults factional dispute is unacceptable.

So when I consulted Ces about this, it seems like he was also troubled about this both as a sage and as a parent, so he gladly offered his support. To start, he gave me permission to use the name of the House of Iglesio and to make his support of us public. In addition, intermediation with possible cooperators.

With this in mind, being able to meet with the principal before the opening proper is a very good sign. From what I was told, the principal whos supposed to be the head of the academy is just a figurehead.

Im getting really excited about academy life now.1

1. Silva: Ah yes, academy life, the zenith of any isekai novel. But the author did it way too forcefully.
